I was once asked how much I would charge for a salad bowl by someone who

his living as a woodturner and quoted a fair price that wouldn't
undercut him.
Of course she was stunned with the quote; I think she thought that she
could get it for peanuts.

You probably were over charging. After all, that big hunk of walnut is
about the same price as a 2 x 4 stud at Home Depot and it only takes a
few minutes to turn. The machine does all the work.
They figured you'd be cheaper than Wal Mart.
Most people have no clue.
